Power and Wind Shear Implications of Large Wind Turbine Scenarios in the US Central Plains
Continued growth of wind turbine physical dimensions is examined in terms of the implications for wind speed, power and shear across the rotor plane. High-resolution simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model are used to generate statistics of wind speed profiles for scenarios of cu...
